About Our Packages and Prices


Whether it's just the two of you or a whole group of family and friends, our packages give you what you need and the high quality you want and deserve at a affordable, reasonable, and competitive price to fit any budget.

When you reserve our service, you'll always receive the highest quality service and products no matter what you spend. We're always try to use our very best vendors and may suggest a change of time or date if any are not available. We believe that any buyer is happier, better served, more satisfied, and without disappointment when they receive a high quality service and product i.e. not marginal, common, or crappy.

Our packages are straight forward and uncomplicated. We don't fill them with "pseudo" services to make them look bigger or to confuse you into thinking they have more value than they actually do. Everything in our packages that we charge for have real value... that's why we charge you what we need to charge.

Services and products and corresponding price of our packages are made to provide the maximum benefit and highest quality. Simply said, what we provide for each package is what you should get if that's the amount of money you have to spend. Yes, we could give you more or charge you less, but then we would couldn't use the quality level of the vendors we use and we don't use marginal people.

As a general rule, we suggest that you get the smallest package which has everything you want and then, add only the services you want using our Order Form. We also suggest that you select the largest package that has what you want even if costs a little more value for just a little more in cost. We also have other services and products not included in our base packages which are available and in fact, we have just about everything you'll need for your Hawaii beach wedding.

We offer a variety of different ceremony styles for your wedding or vow renewal including, Non-religious Romantic, Romantic Christian, and Hawaiian themes for both. All ceremonies are performed by a State of Hawaii licensed marriage officiate/minister who is additionally licensed for electronic license submittal which will allow you to download a temporary license shortly after your wedding day. About officiates and ceremonies.

The main difference between our Economy and Standard packages is a reflection of the photography coverage and the amount and kind of photo product included.

Economy packages provide for a full ceremony coverage, portrait, and scenic, group shot with your guests, on a DVD with 4x6 JPEG photo print files and where provided in the package, a few "All Size" JPEG files allowing for any size enlargement up to 24x36 and larger possible so you can make your own prints at any time and at any place.

Our Standard and Premium packages provide for the same full ceremony coverage, but include a greater variety of portraits and scenics, family shots, and additional romantic candids generating more photos to select from and more files in the different file sizes as provided for in each package.

FYI: No matter the package you reserve, we allow you to get more photos than your package provides for after the wedding by simply upgrading to a larger package and paying the difference in cost. About photography.

The price for your coverage will be everything you select on the Order Form and what we list on your contract + State excise tax of 4.712% of the total collected. The only other payments you will make which are not listed on your contract are your mailing costs (about mailing), your credit card transactions fees (about credit cards), any other items you purchase and/or upgrade too which you have not yet paid for. These amounts will be listed on your Mailing Invoice. Note: We don't have any "service" fees or other hidden costs. Everything is listed on your contract and/or listed in your contract terms.

Finally, you may have noticed with other websites that many of their packages include a variety of what we call "pseudo" services which make their packages look bigger and more appealing. We don't list them or make like we're being great guys by "doing it for free", we do it as part of the job and something we just have to do anyway. FYI: Some things we may have to list if only because "swimming upstream" can sometimes be tiring. LOL.

About Other Website Packages... "The No Spin Zone" :)

Proceed at your own risk! You may find out more than you really want to know.

We gotta tell you what we found when we did a Google search for "Hawaii wedding" (Jan 2013). "Wow" is all we can say!

You'll also be enticed by beautiful looking websites with packages that look "to good to be true", including so-called monthly "specials" like free cake service, free toast, more photo time (totally unnecessary pseudo item), and discounts for more photos if you get the "larger package" (why not allow people to get as many photos as they want... anytime before and after?), and other "freebies" at prices that are so much lower than any other website that you have to ask yourself, "What aren't they telling me? ".... "Why so low?" .... "When are they going to sock it to me to pay for all that free stuff?".... "Will they even be in business when my wedding comes around?" and finally... "If they can give all this stuff for free, why not just include it, instead of creating some advertising scam for simple minded people?"

We gotta tell you what we found when we did a Google search for "Hawaii wedding" (Jan 2013). "Wow" is all we can say!

The top websites on the Google search and in the advertising section at the top of the page and right-hand sidebar are all pretty, there's colorful scenery, people jumping up in the air, nice looking websites all in white with flowers and other graphics, catchy titles and prose in curly fonts and type, Hawaiian music to serenade you as you read, the sound of waves, etc. Everything sure looks good except for when you look closely at what you're actually getting and the prices.

Simply, many of the websites have long lists of what we call "pseudo" services (the word means, "supposed or purporting to be but not really so; false; not genuine... sham"). In other words, services and products that have very little value or are done as part of scheduling, performing, and completing a wedding event, but are listed simply to entice you with a long list of services.

More than one website lists as part of their packages a "on-site wedding coordinator". Now most people think that mean a separate person, a pleasant young woman whose sole job is to "coordinate". Wow, what a great price for that special extra service/person. Nope, it's just the minister or some other vendor who has to be there anyway. We didn't know that websites did that either up until another Hawaii wedding website friend of ours told us so. LOL.

One website charges $695 for the "Kimo the Minister" with the "wedding coordinator" doing the photos using your camera! Does that mean Kimo is the photographer too? Haha.... who knows? $695.00? Paying for photos from someone other than a professional photographer and using the client's camera is truly what we could call a "fairy tale wedding" :) The package which includes what they call a "professional photographer"? It's starts at $1695.00!

A lot of websites include all kinds of other pseudo services like unlimited emails, free consultation and coordination, help with this, help with that, etc.. When you take out all those pseudo services that don't add up to much in real cost and those things they have to do anyway to schedule your wedding (consultation, emails, location assistance, free ceremony coordination, etc), and then look at the items that represent a real cost (like photography, video, music, limousine, etc), you'll probably be surprised at what you're paying for.

There are websites out there which offer packages containing standard industry services far below standard industry prices. One website with even offers minister, photos, bouquet, lei, toast, limousine, free wedding cake, 30 minutes extra photo time and a who bunch of "pseudo" services for $525 and another with more stuff for $855. Truthfully, it looks like such a great deal, we'd even be tempted by it! We just don't see how they and their vendors are making any money at all without some hidden catch or hidden fees. But hey, that's not your concern is it? Or is it? "Too good to be true?" or just a really great deal that nobody else offers?

We have seen a few websites, top websites, and yes, even websites in business for 30+ who for some reason or another come a point where they decide that they have to start offering the lowest prices and the most services included in their packages to blow away the competition. Every month, they are offering more and more "freebies" totaling in the $hundreds$ and making their list of "pseudo" services longer and longer to entice people to book them. It's almost like "going out of business sale" prices and guess what? Many of them do just that in a few months or a year or two leaving behind disgruntled clients. The other thing that happens if not that, is that they get so many weddings that their vendors get over-worked, behind in the production schedule regularly, and eventually disgruntled vendors because too much work for too little pay does not make anyone happy! It's just a fact of life.

When it comes to prices, the old saying holds true, "If it looks too good to be true, it usually is!"
